Designed as a single, unified system that stacks the washer and dryer seamlessly, it combines powerful cleaning, sleek styling, and easy-to-reach controls in one vertical appliance.
This model is particularly appealing for compact homes, condos, and modern spaces thanks to its AI-driven fabric care, ventless heat pump drying, and efficient operation. The LG WashTower™ focuses on practicality and convenience while bringing in advanced technologies that make everyday tasks feel noticeably smoother.
Here’s a closer look at what matters most in real-life use:
Key Features
The LG WashTower™ brings together a set of features designed to simplify routines and maximize usable space.
Space-Saving Single Unit Design
With both washer and dryer built into a single vertical unit, installation is more streamlined than traditional stackable setups. The LG WashTower™ fits nicely into narrow closets, small laundry rooms, and apartments, all while still offering generous drum capacity.
Its 5.8 cu.ft. washer and 7.8 cu.ft. dryer help reduce the number of loads needed each week.
Center Control™ Panel
All controls are conveniently placed in the middle of the unit, making settings easy to reach without stretching or bending. The layout is intuitive and quick to navigate.
AI Direct Drive™ Washing
The washer automatically detects fabric texture and load size, adjusting the wash motions and patterns to improve cleaning results.
Ventless Heat Pump Drying
LG’s Dual Inverter HeatPump™ technology is the real standout, using up to 65% less energy per load,* it delivers meaningful savings on your electricity bills. This ENERGY STAR® certified dryer combines LG’s most efficient ventless drying system with gentler low-temperature drying to help clothes look newer for longer. And because it doesn’t require external venting, this dryer is easy to install and is virtually maintenance free.
*When compared with conventional vented dryer DLE3400, based on Intertek testing in normal cycle with Energy Saver option, 8.45 lb. DOE load with 57.5% initial moisture content (September 2023).
TurboWash™360°
TurboWash™360° uses multiple high-pressure spray jets to thoroughly clean larger loads in under 30 minutes *, making it a strong option for busy days.
*Based on independent testing of a comparable model in normal cycle with TurboWash™360° Option, 10 lb. load (October 2023)
Design and Build Quality
The TurboWash™360° features a clean, modern design with flat-front doors, smooth lines, and a deep dark finish that blends well with contemporary interiors.
Its sturdy single unit construction supports stable installation, while the 33-inch depth makes it especially suitable for tight laundry closets or condo layouts. Even with its compact footprint, capacity remains practical for family use.
Inside, stainless steel drums and bright LED lighting add durability and convenience.
LG’s NeveRust™ Stainless Steel Tubs resist chips and nicks, an advantage over materials like porcelain or plastic, and the surface becomes smoother over time, helping maintain a fresh, like-new appearance for years.
Performance and Everyday Use
In everyday laundry cycles, this vertical laundry performs efficiently, quietly, and with impressive consistency.
AI Direct Drive™ helps optimize wash motions, balancing effective cleaning with fabric care.
TurboWash™360° shortens cycle times without cutting corners, which is especially helpful for busy households.
On the drying side, the ventless design uses dual inverter heat pump technology to dry at lower temperatures, helping minimize shrinkage and improve energy efficiency. Because it doesn’t rely on ducting or release excess heat, it’s also comfortable for indoor environments.
The Center Control™ Panel makes switching from washing to drying straightforward, and the overall noise level is low enough for placement near bedrooms or living areas.
The LG Direct Drive Motor System contributes to precise drum movements, stable cycles, and long-term durability. With fewer moving parts, it operates quietly and comes backed by a 10-year limited motor warranty for added reassurance.
Smart Features & Technology
This LG WashTower™ also includes a full suite of smart features:
- ThinQ® App Control — Start, stop, or monitor cycles from a phone; receive helpful maintenance notifications.
- Voice Assistant Compatibility — Works with Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free commands.
- Smart Pairing™ — The washer communicates load details to the dryer, which then adjusts its cycle automatically.
- Smart Diagnosis™ — Helps troubleshoot issues quickly without waiting for service.
The unit also uses AI Sensor Dry™, which recognizes load size, fabric type, and moisture levels. Drying settings adjust themselves in real time to prevent damp results or overdrying, helping keep clothes in better condition.
Energy Efficiency
The heat pump dryer is the star of efficiency here, using up to 65% less energy than conventional vented dryers *. Combined with AI wash optimization and ColdWash™ technology, this unit significantly reduces utility consumption.
It’s ideal for homes aiming for lower environmental impact or limited electrical capacity.
*When compared with conventional vented dryer DLE3400, based on Intertek testing in normal cycle with Energy Saver option, 8.45 lb. DOE load with 57.5% initial moisture content (September 2023).
Another useful feature is the Auto Cleaning Condenser™. Instead of requiring manual cleaning, it automatically flushes lint and debris using water collected during drying, helping maintain consistent airflow and energy efficiency.
